Yes, sodium lights repel gnats.
Specifically, the term gnat can refer to biting midges, fruit fly-like flies, gnats and midges. All of the above-mentioned insects favor bright lights. Not one of them likes the dimmer, more orange light of sodium bulbs. But if their favorite food source of decaying material or waterlogged mulch is abundantly around, then dimmer lights may discourage some but not all feeding-minded gnats.
